A doppio is a type of espresso that consists of two shots brewed simultaneously. It is made using twice the amount of coffee grounds compared to a single shot, resulting in a richer and more intense flavor. The term "doppio" is Italian for "double," reflecting its double shot nature. Typically served in a small cup, a doppio has a thicker crema, the golden foam that forms on top of espresso. It is popular among coffee enthusiasts who enjoy a stronger coffee experience and can be enjoyed on its own or as a base for other drinks like cappuccino or latte.
